On an early weekday morning, which would you prefer waking up to: a blaring alarm or warm sunlight that gently rouses you?

The Revogi Smart Bluetooth LED Bulb definitively answers that question: warm (simulated) sunlight, no contest. You can set the bulb per your preferences, whether you want to fall asleep to fading light at bedtime, or return home to a celebratory disco-esque environment. You can control all of this from an app on your phone, and enjoy the energy efficiency of a bulb that consumes 90 percent less energy than a regular bulb.

The bulb works in any regular lighting socket, and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. You can take full manual control through the free Revogi app that is available to download on iOS, WatchOS, and Android devices. This provides an on-screen dimmer switch for adjusting brightness, and a color wheel with 16 million hues to pick from.

The app also gives you access to the all-important lighting modes, or “scenes.” There are quite a few preset behaviors to pick from, along with the option to create your own. Rather than having to trigger these by hand, you can set up smart timers to make the bulb come to life at a given time. Up to ten Revogi bulbs can be controlled this way at the same time.

You can get your own smart bulb now from the Daily Dot Store for $29.99. The deal takes 33 percent off of this impressive slice of smart home technology, and includes free shipping to the Continental U.S.
